The Greatest Love
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh
Your other love buys you pretty clothes
And all the fine things
And Heaven only knows that I wish I could, mmm-hmm
Your other love dances and he sings
And swings and says all the witty little things
That a playboy should
Oh, he's got money, he's got charm
And when you're walkin' arm in arm
It hurts me so
But I just want you to know
That it's not easy
Heaven knows I try
To wish the best for you
Push myself aside
Well, it takes the greatest love
That you'll ever find
To let you walk away
Leavin' me behind
And that's the greatest love
Yes, it is
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Your other love he's got the power
To entertain you each and every hour
Of the day and night
Your other love he's got the ways
And the means to show you all the wild scenes
Where the lights are bright
Oh, love should never be possessed
So don't you cry and be depressed
You're free to go
But I just want you to know
It's not easy
Heaven knows I try
To wish the best for you
Push myself aside
Well, it takes the greatest love
That you'll ever find
To let you walk away
Leavin' me behind
And that's the greatest love
Yeah
Whoa, oh
Your other love buys you pretty clothes
And all the fine things
And Heaven only knows that I wish I could, mmm-hmm
Your other love dances and he sings
And swings and says all the witty little things
That a playboy should
Oh, he's got money, he's got charm
And when you're walkin' arm in arm
It hurts me so
But I just want you to know
That it's not easy
Heaven knows I try
To wish the best for you
Push myself aside
Well, it takes the greatest love
That you'll ever find
To let you walk away
Leavin' me behind
And that's the greatest love
Yes, it is
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Your other love he's got the power
To entertain you each and every hour
Of the day and night
Your other love he's got the ways
And the means to show you all the wild scenes
Where the lights are bright
Oh, love should never be possessed
So don't you cry and be depressed
You're free to go
But I just want you to know
It's not easy
Heaven knows I try
To wish the best for you
Push myself aside
Well, it takes the greatest love
That you'll ever find
To let you walk away
Leavin' me behind
And that's the greatest love
Yeah
Whoa, oh
